FRIENDSHIP POSITIONS OPEN. REQUIREMENTS: NOT BEING A MURDER-HAPPY, REVENGE-OBSESSED PYSCHO WHOSE IDEA OF RESOLVING A SITUATION IS IN ACTUALITY MAKING EVERYTHING A SOLID BILLION TIMES WORSE.

Kanaya, I really don't think you did anything wrong! Eridan has gotten away with a lot of bullshit without having to pay. He was due.

[gosh why can't karkat see that violence can be a viable answer sometimes!!!]

[glowsferatu]

I know this, but should bringing it upon him only exacerbate matters, then Karkat will be correct to react thusly.

And none of this excuses your comment to him.

[somethinglawful]

What was I supposed to say???

[ok that was a little aggressive to be aimed at kanaya. she tries to soften it by continuing, not that it's going to make things any better.]

Noooo, Karkat, it really upsets me when you die and I wish you would not do it again in the future?? Is that much not obvious? Do I have to spell it out like he's a drooling retard trembling in a soiled diaperstub?

[glowsferatu]

Perhaps, and this is truly a wild idea I'm sure, but giving him the exact opposite impression wasn't the best way to approach the matter.

[somethinglawful]

I'm starting to think that talking to him period is a bad idea!

[glowsferatu]

Well, I doubt resorting to such an extreme should be necessary, though the current approach is only certain to cause more problems than it solves.

[somethinglawful]

[this is a frustrated sigh.]

I don't even know what to do with him anymore.

[obviously apologizing is not an option......]

[glowsferatu]

[ she combs her fingers through terezi's hair gently, whatever she can do to soothe the matter ]

At the moment, letting it lie may be the most prudent option. But, when the time is right, you will need to provide restitution for this.

You know, balance the scales.

[somethinglawful]

[noooooo, justice lingo!! terezi's greatest weakness!! she sighs, won over for the moment.]

I guess...that would be okay.

[glowsferatu]

[ kanaya leans in and kisses her on the forehead ]

Good. It can be rather tiring to see the two of you repeat the same argument into what could potentially be an infinite recursion. You know my position prevents me from more properly adopting the role of auspistice.

[ even if the maneuver she's had to pull in response to this is...pretty ashen when you look at it ]

[somethinglawful]

[and of course terezi can't help but grin at the kiss. she wraps her arms around kanaya's shoulders in return, well shooshed.]

I'm going to ban you from talking to him if you keep trying to mediate!

[but it is exceedingly obvious from her tone and expression that she is joking around.]

Though I will graciously accept any shooshes that I may earn.

[glowsferatu]

[ taking the cue, she taps a finger against her lips and then presses it to terezi's ]

He's my friend, and I'll auspisticize for him if I feel so led, though I'd prefer not to do so with you. Nevertheless, I certainly won't avoid correspondence with him due to your complications, so it may be imperative for you to seek another if your own interactions begin running any blacker.

Unless, of course, you'd prefer they did so.

[somethinglawful]

[terezi purses her lips against kanaya's finger in what starts out as a teasing echo of a kiss and quickly turns to a near-pout as kanaya makes her final comment.]

We are not black for each other!! That's just ridiculous.

[glowsferatu]

It would be more convincing if you would stop acting as if you were so often.

[somethinglawful]

Sometimes a grudge-fueled argument is just a grudge-fueled argument, Kanaya!!

[glowsferatu]

But rarely so when the two have already formed some variety of romantic attraction between them. Grudges can, on occasion, have a way of twisting those feelings into darker ambitions.

[ she's not...speaking from experience or anything ]

[somethinglawful]

That is definitely not happening here!!

[glowsferatu]

Well, it's a possibility we should note, in case further occurrences may prove otherwise.
